Willunga exudes the essence of a village environment, a gentle pace, tree lined streets and casualness; steeped in history that extends back to the original years of the state in the 1830s. Yet, it has subtle overtones of sophistication, surrounded by renown wineries, hip cafes and the Willunga markets, all enjoyed by locals and cosmopolitan tourists soaking up the atmosphere.
A sentinel of majestic weeping peppercorn trees believed to be over 100 years old stand guard on an allotment of over 2000m2. This home is a sanctuary, built of some 30 years of memories by the current owners.
The main house, with its quarried sandstone frontage and slate front veranda, designed by the current owners reflects a style of a grand farmhouse. The welcoming entrance passageway leads to a large country style kitchen and dining room, the heart of the home. There are 4 bedrooms each of generous proportions, with master naturally having a walk in robe and en-suite.
Sited just to the rear of the main house as bold and as gorgeous as the day it was built in about 1852, stands the barn – beautifully and painstaking renovated.
The floorboards of a dark rich red gum, installed during the renovation open to reveal a cellar to store your collection of favoured wines. Fully equipped with bathroom, kitchen, and 2 mezzanine floors, the barn lends itself to a variety of uses from office, consulting room, entertaining family and friends or perhaps a separate living area for a B&B.
In addition there is fabulous spacious garaging come shedding, which lends itself to a myriad of possible purposes. Accessed by a wide private driveway, concrete-floored and equipped with a mezzanine floor, toilet, and 3 phase power, this area may be the ideal environment as an artist studio, a hobbyist or for the enthusiast and collector – a perfect secure environment to store a prized collection.
About half of the garaging is formed from a portion of the original barn and maintains its beautiful original stone and brick walls. This area provides the flexibility to reconfigure into an extension of the barn proper – catering for a broad spectrum of uses ranging from B&B accommodation/living to yoga studio. Perhaps a boutique business activity – perhaps professional offices or allied to the food, building or say viticulture industry. (Naturally, some activities may require prior council consent.)
The home has extensive rainwater tanks; larger capacity solar system, secure garaging for some 10 vehicles and a she shed retreat for when moments of tranquility are sort.
